the misfit bunny
There are three things that I must always carry with me: a camera, a crochet hook, and a ball of yarn. Individually, each one seems insignificant; however, combined they create whimsical stories. The subjects of my stories are often handmade and hold just as much importance within the project as the photography itself. My stories reveal the secret life that toys live when humans are not present. Each photograph is taken in an everyday atmosphere, giving each image a very slice-of-life feel that allows me to explore how the subject interacts with its environment.
The Misfit Bunny is a heart-warming story about a bunny born from a crochet hook and a ball of yarn that just does not fit in with the other toys. The other toys are content living life within apartment walls, but they are unwilling to share that life with the Misfit Bunny. What will the Misfit Bunny do? Where will he go? Will he eventually learn to accept himself?
And so, in a tiny little apartment, in a tiny little town, on a tiny little shelf… the story of the Misfit Bunny begins…
